Folks, here comes our common holiday – LiveJournal is celebrating its 26 birthday! 🥳

During this time LJ has become not just a mere platform, but a cozy home, where:

• The phrase ‘Hi stranger’ can start a twenty-year friendship
• One can find a gossip for any taste, and a debate for any mood
• The drafts hold unfinished confessions – embarrassing, yet too important to be deleted

But most importantly, it’s a place where your words bear weight. A good LJ entry is worth more than a thousand Likes, as it represents a living breathing thought, so…

Let’s have an LJ-style celebration!

As a birthday special, we’ve prepared a festive landing page where you can tell a truly fascinating story about your holidays.

👉 Pick a festive card that best describes your holiday mood, and write a long read about:

• Your most favorite holiday
• Your holiday traditions
• Your dreams about the future holidays

🎁 Authors of the most captivating posts will receive a set of festive LJ userheads!

Moreover, the contest jury comprised of the LJ staff will select three winners who will receive 12 month-long Professional packages.

To take part in the contest, the participant needs to uncheck the checkbox ‘Minimize my journal's inclusion in search engine results’ in the Privacy settings. The results will be published on May the 13th, 2025 here in the news community.

Write! Read! Comment!

Let LiveJournal get filled with heart-warming stories on these festive days! This is why we’ve been here for 26 years: so the words written today would be read tomorrow. And a day after.

"Even after a hundred thousand million days?" Frank asked.
"Even after a hundred thousand million days," we answered.

With love ❤️,
LJ Team
